Perfect for the my camera and at a great price!!!

I just purchased the new Sony DSC-W50 and wanted a case to protect it. This is a great case in my opinion. Soft and plush inside but firm and protective on the outside. The camera is held firmly in place from the moment you first slide it in the pocket. The additional small zippered pocket on the outside is handy for extra memory sticks or maybe even an extra battery. The belt loop is very handy and there is even a metal ring so that you can attach it to a carabiner or something of the like if desired. However what I like most is that it will protect your investment and look good doing it. I think it's one of the best buys out there. It can be had for less than $15 delivered from several sellers through Amazon.More detail ...

Great buy. You should get this!

If you have a Sony Cybershot digital camera you should get this case to protect it. I bought 3 different cases for my new WSC-290 because I could't find the right one and then I came across this. It is better than the LCS-CST soft carrying case because it has a zipper that encloses your camera all the way. If you drop it accidentally in water there's a good chance you can prevent water from getting inside the case compared to the Velcro lock of the LCS-CST soft carrying case. I also bought the Sony LCS-TWE soft carrying case with carabineer (available in different colors) but it only looks cute not sturdy.



This also has a front pocket and a strap in the back that can be attached to your belt or bag if you get tired of holding it.More detail ...

Measure Carefully

I recently purchased the "Opteka SLR & DSLR Camera Short Zoom Holster Case w/Adjustable Shoulder Strap" to house my Canon 40D (with 28-135 mm lens) for an up coming trip abroad. The holster arrived promptly to my discovery that it is fractionally too short for my camera.



Re-measuring the 40D with lens and the Opteka holster revealed that the manufacturer touts its SRL & DSLR case with apparently exterior measurements. The camera's external dimensions wont fit inside the case!



I liked the low price thick padding long strap quick function zipper handy extra pocket and black color of this Opteka holster. It is certainly recommended for cameras with lenses smaller than 7.5" L by 6.5" D by 4.5" H. The "Exterior Dimensions: 7 3/4" L x 4 1/4" D x 7 1/2"H" posted @ Amazon are misleading. (This Opteka holster is smaller than this on the inside. It needs to be at least another .5" longer.)



I returned it requesting a refund.

Okay but not great

First off I'd like to point out that Amazon's description of this product is totally incorrect. This case only holds the camera and does not hold any accessories. For example I don't see why it says that it holds a compact flash card when the Canon SD1000 uses SD cards. Well the truth is that the case holds neither. Having said that this is actually a pretty decent leather case for this particular camera. Here are the pros and cons:



Pros:



-Fits nice and snug... since it was designed specifically for SD1000.



-Leather is of high quality with 2 colors to choose from. Black and Burgundy.



-Magnetic closure and canon emblem is nice and practical.



-Semi-hard front and back that provides protection for camera.





Cons:

-Case does make camera significantly thicker and less pocket-able



-Slit for wrist strap is too small.



-The Burgundy one looks more 'Red' than the photos of it illustrate.



-relatively expensive for few features.



Conclusion: Even though there is room for some improvements in design this case is of a high quality and should provide good protection for your camera if you just need a nice simple case. However because of it's simplicity and price I think that Canon should have just included along with the camera instead of selling it separately.More detail ...

Great for SX100 Series Also

According to the Canon website this case works for PowerShots SX100IS SX100IS (Black) SX110IS and SX200IS. I have the 110 camera Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) and the fit is snug but good. The quality of the leather case is excellent with a magnetic clasp a hole in the top for the camera strap and a belt loop on the back. The case is only large enough for the camera so if you need accessories you'll need to accommodate them separately. Protect your camera with this outstanding bargain.More detail ...

Fits the SD780IS perfectly

If you have a Canon PowerShot SD780IS12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Black) get this case immediately. The camera itself doesn't come with any protective case so it'll be good to have this case for protection. It is made specifically for that camera so the fit is excellent. The magnetic clasp is convenient and holds firmly.More detail ...

Simple Case

I purchased this case for my Canon 1000IS digital camera. It fits it like a glove. The only thing is remember it doesn't have extra slots or pockets for spare batteries or memory cards. Not really a big deal if you have batteries that will last you or a large enough memory card (or carry the spares in your purse backpack etc). I mainly purchased this to protect the camera from scratches or getting bumped while it's in my bag. More detail ...
